Cole was part of Yorkshire Carnegie academy where he was an unused replacement for the game against Rotherham during the 2014-15 season but was dual-registered to Otley where he impressed everyone with his ability on the ball and carrying. Cole moved down south England to Gloucester Rugby academy system during the 2015-16 season.
